Fascinating food in New York and occasionally farther afield

Island Bakery

What happy isle is this?

In and around New York, "island" and its cognates often denote some warm land set in the silver sea. Usually it's one of the Greater Antilles, occasionally a smaller Caribbean island, rarely some unspecified rock in California surfer country. As for this half-century-old bakery, years earlier it expanded eastward on the island in question. Now it's settled solely on the western edge, with one store and one truck, but the logo — shown below on a humble bag of bread crumbs (99 cents) — still speaks of a summer's day.
